@ChipotleTweets I do!

It's been a LONG hiatus, but I am re-energized and ready to talk tech again. What's new that you'd like to talk about?

[Dr. Richard M. Smith @drsmith_edtech]

It’s not a “Figment” of your imagination. The Smith clan is touring Disney World which means I’m going to make part 2 of the interesting STEM facts from DW. Stay tuned because the next update is out if this world! Follow on Instagram: smith_edtech #DisneySTEM #drsmithonthemove

@Catlin_Tucker Excited for the new read! Arrives by Friday!

@timmerhod I love it when the students ask if they can come back work during lunch, study halls or other free time. I know it's not required of them, but that learning means something to them!

[Dr. Richard M. Smith @drsmith_edtech]

Always a pleasure #BLinAction! Please stay well and keep up the amazing things you do for your students! @CharityDodd, thanks for hosting the quickest/meaningful 30 collab in education

[Dr. Richard M. Smith @drsmith_edtech]

@CharityDodd I have grown to really love well placed feedback! So glad you included it! I do video feedback for my student's work. That way they can revisit it when making corrections/updates to portfolios at their own pace. Personalized and meaningful!

[Dr. Richard M. Smith @drsmith_edtech]

Q3: Getting to know Ss is more than gathering facts. True engagement is spurred when you tie their interests to learning. Showing them real application to knowledge gained. Show respect for their time and for the person they are. #buildrelationships #learnmeaningfully #BLinAction

[Dr. Richard M. Smith @drsmith_edtech]

@CharityDodd Too right! Rather be the #guideontheside

[Dr. Richard M. Smith @drsmith_edtech]

@maribelvazcam Absolutely! Any input from students is a clear winner! I even open our syllabus up for negotiation with how to learn, decide outcomes, and plan lessons. It's their plan for their learning while meeting objectives!

[Dr. Richard M. Smith @drsmith_edtech]

Q2: I have good bag of starters, but my 1 favorite is when I assign "homework" for our programming a remote lesson. They have to go home & play video games then analyze what the buttons do. I've had to confirm with Ps that I assigned it. Ss. have fun while learning. #BLinAction

[Dr. Richard M. Smith @drsmith_edtech]

Curiosity is the powder keg for engagement. Takes one little spark to ignite the passion for learning!

[Tim Hodkinson @timmerhod]

A1: Student engagement = curiosity. It can look like thinking, asking, answering, discussing, wondering. #BLinAction

[Dr. Richard M. Smith @drsmith_edtech]

@CharityDodd @bobby__dodd @MHSComets Those are my favorite days. When they get right to work because they know what they need, then groan because it's over. That's how you know you've got the right recipe for engagement that day!

[Dr. Richard M. Smith @drsmith_edtech]

@timmerhod Welcome in Tim!

[Dr. Richard M. Smith @drsmith_edtech]

@MrsAdamsTech Couldn't agree more! I always call it the organized synergy. Others may call chaos. :)
